Singapore's WTT Grand Slam is a new matchday, led by the first game from the women's singles quarter-to-4. The two sides of the clash are the No. 4 main force from the national table tennis, and wang Yidi, who is now ranked No. 5 in the world. And her opponent, can be called a low-key strength faction, but also can be said to be a dark horse, because she won the 4th place in the mixed doubles with her teammate Lebison at the Tokyo Olympic Games, indicating that the strength is still there, and in this Grand Slam women's singles 16 into 8 competition, it is 3-1 to eliminate the biggest competitor for the national table tennis, Ito Mimako, which is the biggest cold in the women's table tennis field. Due to the small number of confrontations between the two sides, coupled with Yuan Jiannan's large control of the console area, the playing style is also more comprehensive, and the better control of her own mistakes on the field has become a major advantage for her, so for Wang Yidi, it is necessary to make sufficient preparations under the premise of having the belief of victory, try to avoid unnecessary self-mistakes, and protect and play smoothly when opportunities arise to ensure promotion.
In the first set of the game, Wang Yidi entered the state relatively quickly, basically walking according to his own rhythm, but he was not adapted enough to Yuan Jiannan's playing style, coupled with the change of the opponent's serve, so that the point difference between the two sides has not been opened. From the beginning it was a tug-of-war. The two sides fought from 3-3, 6-6 to 8-8 and 9-9, until the end of the innings, Wang Yidi won 2 points in a row through the speed and strength advantage of multi-board stalemate, and took the next city 11-9. The second set of the game was the same as the first set, but Wang Yidi improved slightly in the initiative of the situation, although in this set it was still a 2-point victory, and the two sides also played 12-10 to win, but this game Wang Yidi basically maintained the score lead and was forced to draw, then pulled away, and then forced to draw. Yuan Jiannan's playing style is to play very steadily, but lacks some killing boards, and Although Wang Yidi has some mistakes, he plays more actively, always controlling the rhythm, and thus achieving a 2-0 big score lead.
In the third set of the game, after the two sides began to draw 1-1, Wang Yidi clearly dominated the scene through his own continuous attacks, and achieved a 7-4 lead. The front has lost two sets, the third set is behind the score, Yuan Jiannan will lose the whole game if she loses this round again, so she added some fighting in the middle of this round, and new changes have been added to the serve, Wang Yidi saw the hope of victory, he played a little anxious, too much want to attack the opponent, but caused his own continuous active mistakes, the score of the two sides also changed from one side to the other, and then Yuan Jiannan achieved an 8-7 score lead. Although Wang Yidi called a timeout on the key points, but the effect of this time is not obvious, the two sides in the battle into 10 draws, 11 draws and 12 draws, a lucky tennis scoring, so that Yuan Jianan 14-12 reverse Wang Yidi, won the third game victory, in the big score to win back a city. The big score between the two sides came to 2-1, or Wang Yidi led.
The game entered the fourth set of contention, in the just concluded third set of the final victory of Yuan Jianan's innings of this set is obviously more relaxed in mentality, but also played more actively, the beginning of the game to take a 4-1 lead, and then continue to carry such a point difference between the two sides to 8-4, still Yuan Jianan led. Seeing that the two sides have the possibility of fighting a big score of 2-2 and playing a tiebreaker. At the critical moment, Wang Yidi did not let the plot of the previous third innings because of her own haste and lost the game again, she paid attention to the serve and the serve to play more steadily, but also stared at the ball in terms of holding the ball, the quality of the veneer was also improved, and at the same time to ensure that it reduced its own mistakes, and sure enough, Wang Yidi not only leveled the difference between the two sides, but also achieved a 9-8 and 10-9 score lead, although Yuan Jianan continued to chase the score to 10-10 draws, but Wang Yidi still played steadily, With his patience, he ushered in Yuan Jiannan's consecutive mistakes, 12-10 (11-9, 12-10, 12-14, 12-10) and then went to the next city, thus eliminating Yuan Jiannan with a total score of 3-1 to get the first four places in the women's singles. The first inning of the four innings of the two sides was only 2 points apart, which shows that for Wang Yidi, this game is still very gold-rich, and it is not easy to win at all. Congratulations to Wang Yidi. Her next round opponent will be between Chen Meng and Ishikawa Jiajun, and I believe that in the end, it will be Wang Yidi and Chen Meng who will achieve victory in the semi-finals. Congratulations to Wang Yidi, Chen Meng refueling.
